Former President of Barcelona: Figo is a traitor. That's the plan he set up to get to Real Madrid.

Barcelona's former president, Joan Gaspart, for El Español microphones, has particularly commented on one of the most controversial transfers in history: that of Louis Figo, Portuguese symbol of the Catalans, who was attributed to Blancco.

I don't use the speech games Gaspart on the very talked about the 2000 transfer, while explaining: “Mread that was elected president of Barcelona, the best player in Spain, Figo, called me”, relates the club's former number 1.

“Figo was a traitor. That evening he told me that he had two tickets - one for Madrid and one for Barcelona. He told me his manager had signed the contract with Real and that if he didn't respect that accord he would have to pay 3 million.

And he told me that if Barcelona paid him, he'd stay. I answered that we would pay, but Figo asked to have bank guarantees. It was midnight and I couldn't do it at that moment. I gave him my word but he went to Real Madrid anyway. That was a dirty move of my friend Florentino Perez“.
